An elderly man was arrested on Monday afternoon after he crashed through the front gates of actress Jennifer Aniston’s home in Bel Air, according to police and multiple media outlets.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to affiliate KTLA that a call came into the station around 12:20 p.m., reporting a burglary suspect in the 900 block of Airole Way.
TMZ reported that Aniston was home when the suspect, only identified as a white male in his 70s, drove through her closed fence, likely causing a big scare for the celebrity.
The LAPD said a security guard on the scene held the man in a prone restraint until police arrived.
According to TMZ, Aniston’s home security team rushed over and held the driver at gunpoint until the LAPD got to the scene. Police officers took the man into custody without incident.
Sky5 went to the actress’ home around 4 p.m. to examine any damage, and KTLA’s Gil Leyvas reported seeing that the retractable arm of the front gate was broken off, resting on the ground behind the gate. While Sky5 was overhead, the gate was seen opening and closing manually.
“There was a victim who was home at the time, who was not injured,” the LAPD said, unable to confirm it was the “Friends” star.
Police did not provide further information about the suspect or the burglary call.
